Prognosis of microwave ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma: does age make a difference?
Objective Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a notable threat to the longevity of elderly people. However, there is no trial to study the prognosis of these elderly patients after microwave ablation (MWA) treatment. This study investigated whether elderly patients with HCC benefit from MWA similar to...
